Soldiers, Viet Nam Veteran's Memorial, Washington, DC

I don't know what this monument commemorates because I couldn't find a sign telling me the sculptor's intent.  I believe it is a memorial to the contributions African American Soldiers made in the View Nam War.  It is a very striking monument.

It was a cold, wet, icy, gloomy day in Washington, DC yesterday.  Not a great day for photo opportunities.  I came across the Viet Nam Veteran's Memorial and thought the mixture of the names etched on the marble wall, the reflection of the landscape, and the Washington Monument in the distance shows proper respect for our Viet Nam Veterans and the sacrifice they made.  God bless them.
